-- King Alfred --
Danish raiders began to attack England in the late 700's. During the 800's, they easily conquered all the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms except Wessex.
Alfred the Great, the king of Wessex, resisted most of the attacks.
In 886, he defeated the Danes and forced them to withdraw to the northeastern third of England.
The area ruled by the Danes became known as the Danelaw.

Alfred was an effective ruler who made his territory a united country.
He supported Christianity, encouraged education, and issued a code of laws.
He also built a fleet of ships, established fortified towns, and reorganized the army to protect his kingdom from the Danes.

Alfred died in 899.
During the early 900's, Alfred's successors reconquered the Danelaw.
